still not a bad deal - given that after cashback, you essentially get the product for free

The stickers are on ALL the products at Dick Smith Arndale - and on the sticker it says, "Purchase me and receive 100% cashback". The upload is a photo of the sticker itself. I got excited as I thought I could pick up a logitech steering wheel with the cash back, but upon upon further investigation, I can see that only a limited number of products are included in this deal.

looking at the website - it only has the products on it that POWERevolution noted. I originally got excited as they had the stickers on the logitech steering wheels - but i think it only includes the slightly older, cheaper products. Still - free is free!

it says some internet purchases are ineligible - maybe Logitechshop is included?

Edit : maybe I've read it wrong. I assumed it meant some lay buys and some Internet purchases ineligible. Upon reading it again, it may mean some lay buys and all Internet purchases are ineligible. Poorly worded I think

Thanks for the posting. Only catch is that it is limited to the first $300K. So say the average cashback deal is $50 thats 600 (Should be 6000) only who will get the deal, and each person can claim up to 5 items, So I'll predict given the popularity of this you'll have Buckley's chance of getting any money back

Eg 250 VOTES for the Top Gear magazine and probably a lot more visitors and non voters give you some idea of how popular this may be. And while you can by now, your claim can only be on Feb 1st. So good luck at getting on at 12.01am.

Now if you are able to return the item if you dont win, that might be the go, unless the sticker has a unique code that you have to remove and DS wont take it back if that is (I would guess thats unlikely).

I dont think Logitech have thought this out very well. Being so smart ($300K) with the limit, will probably mean a lot of returns to store

EDIT - oops maths at 3 am not the best thing to do. The 6000 as indicated below by others smarter, is the go

Good opportunity for retailers NOT to have competitive pricing. People shouldn't care too much about the price if they get 100% cashback. The more the retailer charges, the more pure profit they can make.

Obviously people don't want to be without too much cash for too long though, and there is the increased risk of losing more cash if you miss out on the cashback.

Just be careful. Reading the terms cashback only applies to purchases DURING promotional period which starts 1/2/11, so don't buy until Tuesday.

Also they said they will have a countdown clock showing how much of $300K is still claimable.

6.To be eligible to lodge a claim in the Promotion, individuals must, during the Promotional Period, purchase any of the participating Logitech products (as specified below) from any participating store in Australia ("Participating Product") and follow the claim procedures set out in clause 7 and 8 below.

I have seen many companies in US doing this but not much here in oz ..they usually clear off their slow moving stocks by adding the mail in rebates to get more shelf space..bestbuy and circuit city have them..i once got my printer in 100% mail in rebate from HP..

Since the $300k amount is fixed by logitech, best we can do to maximize buyers/buys under this deal is everyone buying at lowest price. If everyone buys from the most expensive place then obviously fewer ppl can get the benefit.

Ask yourself would you be happy with the item at the price you pay to avoid the inevitable disappointment for some when the cash runs out. There's clearly going to be a competitive component to this. Given Logitech applied the stickers before shipment they know they value of the product in the stores (reward) vs the $300k (bait) ;-)

wow i just realized something
EDUCATION TAX REFUND+100% CASHBACK = Profit for those with kids/students
because you get the 100% cashback off logitech and you also get 50% rebate(if you haven't gone over limit)
for all items i would say they are educational
mouse, keyboard, cooling pad(unsure), headset, webcam(unsure)

but your cost is $0. if you are claiming a tax rebate you are fudging your tax.

another analogy would be buying a product, returning it for a refund and then claiming a tax rebate for your original purchase. hell, why not just skip the purchasing bit all together and just declare that you have bought $1000 of stuff on your tax return.

I am sure many people do this anyway. Taking the risk that an audit will pass them by.
i am surprised that the ATO doesnt audit all those with educational claims.
Its just like the ATO is setting up the "people" for a sting some time down the track.
personally i would prefer centrelink to get all the welfare cheats, as my tax dollars are being wasted on false payments and claims.

No you cant claim it in the shop. You need to go through the website (http://www.logitechcashback.com.au) Im sure the procedure will be online from 1st feb (i.e. if you need to send in your barcode or jsut rceipt etc. etc)

Best you check that out yourself - give some of them a call. Personally, i'll be going to OW coz they open super early.

There appears to be no financial limit to a single claim, only a limit of 5 claims total per person.

So what's to stop a small computer store owner selling a single mouse to a family member for $300,000 and getting them to personally deliver the claim form at 9am Feb 1st to the rebate address, hence being the first (and possibly only) successful claim?
